Yvonne Okoro Talks About S*x

Sex remains one of the most controversial topics in the world today but who chose this specific topic to elucidate upon recently? It was none other than Ghanaian movie star, Yvonne Okoro.

The actress recently added quite a number of coloured feathers to her hat when she earned herself a total of six nominations for her latest movie ‘The Contract.’

Given her ability to breathe realistic life into romantic scenes whenever she takes up such roles, she has become a reference point on the issue of sex in movies and she takes her time to break it all down.

“I think sometimes when you are acting, you feel like doing something that you want to be remembered for. Maybe in the course you overdo it. It depends on the script. I think in Ghana we wanted to start something, like a Trans-setter. I remember in those days, when people are kissing and they do it tackily, and we are thinking if you can’t kiss, then don’t do it. So I think we ended up doing it well or we are overdoing it. The truth of the matter is it exists in our culture.

“Our culture does not allow topics like sex and nudity but in a way sometimes I think we are also being hypocritical. A Hollywood movie will come, we will watch it and be happy and compliment them. I think if you are going to do nudity, you should not do it in a tacky way. It should be done with what will conform to our culture. I think it is about choice, if you think you want to remove yourself and think it will help your character and you don’t have a problem with it, it is fine," she enthused.
